Link to information on the P0443. Be darn sure that ALL vacuum lines are good!

Did u clear the P0443 after the new solenoid install or did the code return after the new solenoid install? From what I gather, the problem needs to be fixed AND the code cleared to turn off the CEL immediately. Otherwise, if the problem is fixed, but the code not cleared (to turn off the CEL), it will take X number of engine starts/trip cycles before the CEL will turn off ......not positive though.
